Anthony Firkser, Tennessee Titans

Anthony Firkser finished last season with 39 receptions for 387 yards and a touchdown, while only playing on 32% of the Titans’ offensive snaps. He had a 100.1 passer rating when targeted and at 25 years old, is a younger option that Washington could consider.

Although he is on the shorter side, Firkser did have the highest receiving grade for tight ends when targeted in single coverage, per PFF.

Firkser played both basketball and football during his time at Harvard and made All-Ivy League First Team his senior year. He also received the Joe Restic Award for his leadership and integrity, both values that Coach Rivera honors.

The diversity of his skill-set being a two-sport collegiate athlete and his ability to play a hybrid tight end/fullback role could be something that intrigues the Washington Football Team enough to take a look.
